The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 319 - Tender Meeting (1)

“What are you looking at? Do I look good in this?” Xi Xiaye put her briefcase on the chair as she did a turn in front of him. He handed her a napkin with a smile on his face.

“It looks good. The colors are great.” He sat down.

Xi Xiaye laid open the napkin and started eating her breakfast.

Li Si appeared on time as the couple was done with their breakfast. There were also two bodyguards in black suits behind him.

“Good morning, Master, Missus!” They greeted respectfully.

Mu Yuchen nodded. He turned around and looked at Xi Xiaye who was checking on the doc.u.ments again. “We’ll head right over there. We’re not going to the office.”

“Noted, President Mu!” Li Si replied.

“Let’s go.” He grabbed Xi Xiaye’s briefcase and handed it to Li Si before heading outside.

The car went straight to their destination. Even though they had done plenty of a.n.a.lysis and preparation, Xi Xiaye still could not help but feel anxious at this moment.

It was her first time handling such a tremendous project, after all. The huge amount of estimated tender she calculated gave herself a big shock.

Needless to say, a lot of money would be involved since it was a priority project from the government, but inside City Z, only the huge, capable companies would be able to take on this project. She saw the project listings. The total funds involved was eight hundred billion dollars, and the South River project took up nearly half of it.

The South River project she was handling was only a small part known as South River 1. The whole theme was to “build a new city in the south”.

Many industries were involved. Even after the proposal phase was over, there would still be a lot of work to do after that. They needed to invite partners and carry out many other miscellaneous processes, which was partly why Xi Xiaye wanted to delay their wedding.

However, since he did not want to, she did not have any objections as well as long as they were happy.

It was a quarter past nine when they arrived at their destination. They reached right on time.

The parking lot was full, and the entrance was heavily secured. They could only enter after a thorough ident.i.ty check.

The tender was happening in the meeting hall on the 17th floor. There were several other big projects similar to South River 1 happening together, so a huge crowd was gathered.

The meeting hall was fully seated. The screen in front displayed the topic for the day while many important leaders from the government sat in front, including Xi Mushan. When he saw Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye, he gave them a curt nod, and Xi Xiaye smiled back at him.

Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye’s seats were at the very front. As they sat down, they noticed the seats beside theirs were for Qikai, and that Qi Lei was right there!

Qi Lei gave Xi Xiaye a wide grin when he saw her.

Mu Yuchen did not see Qi Lei. Instead, he lowered his head and was looking through some doc.u.ments Li Si had just handed him.

Soon, it was 9.30 a.m. Xi Mushan and the others on the stage stopped talking as the tender officially began.

The host started off with a round of greeting and introduction of the guests, eliciting a loud round of applause from the crowd.

“The one on your left is w.a.n.g Ziluo from the w.a.n.g Corporation. He just took over the company not long ago. They are pretty good. When the New Era Plaza just launched, Grandfather thought they were quite reliable, but for some reason, we didn’t really get to work with each other in the end.”

Xi Xiaye glanced over at the person beside Mu Yuchen as she told Mu Yuchen quietly.

“The w.a.n.g Corporation? w.a.n.g Ziluo? The guy who had a crush on you for many years?” He demanded.

Mu Yuchen only noticed the person beside him when she mentioned him. He saw w.a.n.g Ziluo was leering at Xi Xiaye and it made him displeased. He put his arms over her shoulder, exerting his dominance on the spot.

Xi Xiaye glared at him and pushed his hand away. “It’s a public venue. Be more serious.”

“What now? I’m very serious and calm right now. Smiling at you like that seemed silly. I hope you don’t like him…”

“I’m not talking about that! I’m reminding you to keep an eye on them. We need to look for partners in the future. They can be an excellent choice.”

“I notice that you’re really a man magnet, aren’t you? Didn’t you tell them that we’re married? The ring on your hand is just for show, huh?”

Mr. Mu was really irritated with w.a.n.g Ziluo. As he wanted to shoot daggers at him, the host finished with the introductions. Coming up was the South River 1 project.

The host spoke through the mic, “Bidders, please confirm your doc.u.ments once again. Check if it’s undamaged, and sign it before submitting it to us. Otherwise, we’ll a.s.sume that it’s fine by default. All the bidders for the South River 1 project, please come forward!”

Mu Yuchen glanced at Xi Xiaye, who nodded at him and went forward. At the same time, Qi Lei went together with her.

It only took Qi Lei a few steps to catch up with Xiaye. The two of them walked beside each other for a couple of seconds when Qi Lei asked quietly, “Do you think Qi Kai or Glory World will win this time, Xiaye?”

“Won’t you know when the results are revealed?” Xi Xiaye replied coldly.

“Xiaye, you have a huge misunderstanding towards me. Because of you, that woman nagged me throughout last night, and I endured all of it. Geez, can’t you be friendlier to me?”

Qi Lei grinned. When he looked at her serious face with her pink cheeks, he thought that she was really cute.

Xi Xiaye stared at him. “I can’t be friendly to people that I hate, Vice President Qi. I notice that you’re quite a narcissistic person!”

Qi Lei’s smile grew even wider and Xi Xiaye looked away. She checked the doc.u.ment again before signing it.

Without looking at Qi Lei again, she turned around and went back.

As she pa.s.sed him coldly, Qi Lei touched his nose. He turned around and looked at her back. Instead, he caught sight of Mu Yuchen’s deep, dark eyes.
